Fantastic Voyage Of Goblin: The Sweet Sound Of Hell Soundtrack CD

This Cinevox collection spread over two discs, and covers up most of the same territory that was featured on a previous Bella Casa compilation, and expands it by nine tracks. Most of the band's major soundtrack works are here -- Goblin was as closely associated with Italian Horror cinema director Dario Argento as Popol Vuh was with Werner Herzog. Taken as a whole, this double-disc set gives a deeper picture, though, of just how diverse and utterly prog rock this band was. From the themes and cues of their most famous work on the film Suspiria to their own "Opera Magnifica," this is expansive and focused progressive music that is trademark and utterly satisfying. ~ Thom Jurek

2007 compilation of film music by the Italian Prog band. An outstanding Progressive Rock group in their own right, Goblin's name is synonymous with the cinema of Dario Argento, the director of stylized Italian horror. For him they composed such celebrated scores as Dawn Of The Dead (AKA as Zombi) `Profondo Rosso', that starred David Hemmings and which provided the group with a number one hit and the hallucinatory `Suspiria', which recalls early Can and the free-form improvisations of Amon Duul II and Popul Vuh. Goblin's music is astoundingly effective both as Rock and in the context of the films and is internationally celebrated as such. Like David Axelrod, Goblin have been widely sampled and are held in great esteem by the Chemical Brothers and those of that generation. Bella Casa.
